Fireball and Pineapple Are a Match Made in Whiskey Heaven on the Grill

Fireball cinnamon whiskey is a dangerously delicious liquor…and we are head over heels in love with it. Serve it on the rocks, in a flavorful cocktail or drink it straight from the bottle (like these wedding guests did) and you’ll get a nice kick. But have you ever tried it served with grilled pineapple? It sounds intriguing doesn’t it? A pairing of cinnamon whiskey and the sweetness of pineapple is the perfect marriage.

And thanks to Malcom Reed of How To BBQ Right, we can make our own Fireball Pineapple to share with family and friends. With over 241,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel, Malcom shares his love for BBQ with informational videos showing how to make the perfect recipe. With his infectious smile it’s hard not to be captivated by his videos.

Today we waned to share with you one of our favorites, the Fireball Pineapple. Take a look:

First things first, Malcom points out, is to make sure your barbecue has a rotisserie rod. Other than that the recipe only requires a pineapple, fireball whiskey and brown sugar. According to Malcom, the inspiration of the dish comes from Greg and Kristina Gaardbo from Rockin Rodizio, a mobile Brazilian Grill. We just want to say many thanks for this recipe.

To begin, remove the pineapple skin using a sharp knife, making sure to cut out all of the eyes. You don’t need to worry about cutting out the core, but make sure to cut off the top and bottom of the pineapple as well. Cut small slits diagonally along the pineapple. This diamond pattern will make sure all the whiskey soaks into the fruit.

Next, place the cut pineapple in a large ziplock storage bag and add a touch of fireball whiskey. The video shows about 12 oz of fireball for two pineapples. Let the pineapple soak for at least two hours, turning the pineapple every 30 minutes to ensure every side of the pineapple is soaked.
